Recommend me something quiet - and cheap

[Dansin]

Feckin iPads.... Second time typing this.

I want to improve my off road riding ability, particularly slow speed technical stuff. Please can you recommend a sub £1000 (preferably a lot less) trials bike that I can use over winter in the garden. We only have three neighbours but I'd like to keep noise to a minimum. The intention is to set up a course and build my skills and confidence....

One for sale in the Non GS Bikes for sale section today

Nice Beta Rev3 2 stroke for £850

Excellent beginner's bike, bargain at that price for a 2003 bike

If you get one, give me a shout.
Robbie_C and myself have private access to a quarry near Hereford. You can come and play.

Saw that and did wonder. Will see what the pics are like when they're up. What is it that makes it good for a beginner? I know absolutely zip about trials bikes.

Cheers fella, much appreciated. I'll give you a shout if I can sort a bike out.

Well built, stable and a smooth (not peaky) engine

They will hold together (stators are known issue, but easy fix, via importer) - unlike some other brands

Montesa or Beta make the best bikes
